Diane Reay is a sociologist and academic, who is Professor of Education at the University of Cambridge. [1] [2] She is noted for her study about educational inequalities among students in state schools in the United Kingdom. [1] She has maintained that there is a tendency to misuse the school selection practice to transform social class differences into education. [3] For instance, she criticized the Oxbridge application process as "institutionally racist". [4]
Reay's research highlights the challenges that working-class students have in higher education, in particular when accessing and transitioning to and within higher education. [1]
Reay is the daughter of a coal miner and the eldest of eight children. She was raised on a council estate and was given free school meals while a young student. In an interview, she said, "I learned as a small child I had to work at least twice as hard as the middle-class children to achieve the same result." [1]
She taught in a London primary school for 20 years before she began work at Cambridge, [1] where she is currently an emeritus professor of sociology of education. [5]
